Has anyone ever used a Centerally Billed Account (CBA) for the 18 MTSA line of accounting to attend an NCOES School?

We got it all worked out with our EUCOM HQ in Germany. Thank you for the input everyone!

I have a Soldier who is scheduled to attend ALC on Saturday. His government travel card account was closed and they will not open it back up. My unit is only paying for his rental car and he is not able to get the 18 MTSA line of account linked to his DTS account due to not having a goverment travel card. Is there any way I could use a CBA for the 18 MTSA line of accounting in order to pay for his airfare and per diem?

Background: We are stationed at RAF Molesworth in the UK on an Air Force base. All of our support personnel are Air Force so we have no S3 and they only Army non-intel personnel at this base are two 42As and that's it.

The only ones that can approve a CBA is your DTS manager or your RMO usually someone in your BDE level S4

1st: all service members are required to have a GOVCC.
2d: you have to be supported by a higher Army HQ.
Your Soldier must apply for the GOVCC ASAP. In the base there has to be a SATO travel for official travel. They might be able to get you some advice. Also, ALC pays for lodging and meals are provided for BLC, ALC, and SLC.
